The next morning, when Leanne stepped out of her apartment, Jake was already waiting downstairs.
She thought Curtis was there to pick her up early in the morning and was puzzled as to why he hadn’t come up. Jake respectfully opened the car door for her.
The car was empty.
She turned to him, Jake’s voice carried a hint of joy, “Mr. Curtis sent me. From now on, I’ll be driving you to and from work.”
Was Curtis worried she’d end up at the police station again?
Leanne scoffed internally, “Then who’s driving him?”
“Alan.”
Oh, Alan—the one who had that fender-bender with Suzan.
“Wasn’t he fired?” Leanne asked, puzzled.
“Mr. Curtis said, considering his past good service, he’d give him another chance.”
“…”
Leanne got into the car, Jake drove onto the main road, the morning rush hour traffic was heavy. After watching the scenery for a while, she turned back, “Why isn’t Curtis coming today?”
Jake replied, his hands steady on the wheel, “Mr. Curtis has some business to take care of.”
…
Bang bang bang—
Just before eight, a thunderous knocking shattered the early morning tranquility of the apartment building.
Disturbed from his sleep, David got up, furious and shirtless, and opened the door cursing, “Who the hell is knocking?”
Standing outside were four tall, burly men in black suits, expressionless.
Having been around the block a few times, David wasn’t unfamiliar with confrontations. His anger paused, and he reflexively tried to shut the door.
Bang!
